Description

Fliers are supposed to be free and photocopied, stapled to telephone poles and handed out at every possible opportunity. The eight-color silk-screen posters of today are hardly ever used and only faintly effective; they are more of a cash cow for the printer than anything else. When was the last time you saw a poster like that stapled to a pole and not for retail sale?
